A high fat and cholesterol diet (HFCD) can modulate the gut microbiota, which is closely related with hypercholesterolemia. This study aimed to explore the anti-hypercholesterolemia effect of oryzanol, and investigate whether the function of oryzanol is associated with the gut microbiota and related metabolites. 16S rRNA and ultrahigh-performance l...

Inflammation is a major factor affecting human health. Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) plays a vital role in the development of inflammation, and the promoters of most inflammatory cytokine genes have NF-κB-binding sites. Targeting NF-κB could be an exciting route for the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases. As important constituents o...

Mol. Nutr. Food Res. 2022, 66, 202100732 DOI: 10.1002/mnfr.202100732 AMPK pathway plays vital role in the energy metabolism. Recent investigations indicate that AMPK is closely related with carcinogenesis. Polyphenols can target AMPK to promote apoptosis and cell cycle arrest of cancer cells. Besides interfering with classical carcinogenesis pathwa...

Background In contrast with genetics, epigenetics does not alter the DNA sequence. It was a widely held thought that although the epigenome undergoes a process of reprogramming during gametogenesis and early embryo development, resulting epigenetic information could not be inherited by subsequent generations. There are growing pieces of evidence, r...

Gating or threshold selection is very important in analyzing data from a microflow cytometer, which is especially critical in analyzing weak signals from particles/cells with small sizes. It has been reported that using the amplitude gating alone may result in false positive events in analyzing data with a poor signal-to-noise ratio. Transit time (...

Abstract One of the biggest challenges in rapid low concentration bacterial detection is the pre-concentration or pre-enrichment, which aims to increase bacteria concentration and reduce sample volume for easy bacterial detection. In practical bacterial detection, large-volume water samples with a pathogenic bacterial concentration of less than 1 C...
